Abstract

Using isoenzyme-specific antisera, protein kinase C (PKC) α and PKC δ were detected in total liver homogenate and in isolated nuclei. PKC βI, βII, ε, ε′, and ζ were not detected. During liver regeneration, nuclear PKCα levels decreased while PKCδ levels increased. These studies demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of a calcium-independent PKC isoenzyme in liver nuclei and suggest that PKCα and PKCδ may have different roles in liver regeneration and cell proliferation.
